Ring Of Honor TV Results – April 3, 2019

Ring of Honor
Date: April 3, 2019
Location: Sam’s Town Hotel And Gambling Hall, Las Vegas, Nevada
Commentators: Ian Riccaboni, Colt Cabana

It’s the go home show for the New Japan/Madison Square Garden Show and the first bit of fallout from the Anniversary Show. I’m not sure what they can do to set up and deal with those shows in the span of forty five minutes, though I’m so used to it at this point that it doesn’t matter. Let’s get to it.

We open with a recap of the Kingdom vs. Villain Enterprises for the Six Man Tag Team Titles.

Opening sequence.

Mark Haskins vs. Rush

Dalton Castle is on commentary and Rush kicks the hand away because he’s a little rudo. They grapple against the ropes and an amateur off on the mat goes to a standoff. Haskins’ chops have no effect so Rush knocks him to the floor and the beating is on. Back in and Rush stares down at Castle, who isn’t scared because he walked Fremont Street last night. Rush kicks at Haskins’ head so Haskins slugs away as the hard shots continue. A big shot sends Rush outside but he’s ready for the dive, allowing Haskins to swing back inside for a cool visual.

Haskins seems to drop him on a suplex attempt so it’s something like a V Trigger instead. Rush is right back with a fireman’s carry cutter for two of his own, setting up the running kick in the corner. The Tranquilo pose takes too long so Haskins comes after the arm, only to get powerbombed into the corner. Haskins is right back up with a Samoan driver for two of his own but walks into a running Canadian Destroyer. You don’t sell something like that though as Haskins hits a tornado DDT for a double nine count. Back up and Rush has had it, suplexing Haskins into the corner for the Bull’s Horns for the pin at 9:22.

Result: Rush b. Mark Haskins – Bull’s Horns (9:22)

Castle is fired up and wants to punch the farm animal in the face and roast him for dinner.

We look at the Tag Team Title vs. Tag Team Title match being set up for Madison Square Garden. Since this is wrestling though, the match turned into a four way with the two champions (Guerrillas of Destiny and Villain Enterprises) being joined by Evil/Sanada and the Briscoe Brothers.

We look at the World Title three way match becoming a ladder match, which I think took place earlier in this taping cycle but is being included here due to scheduling issues.

Jeff Cobb says Will Ospreay beat him in a tag match in Japan for his only loss in Ring of Honor. At MSG, let’s make it title for title. Why we need to see this challenge now when it was announced at the Anniversary Show isn’t clear.

Also at MSG: Mayu Iwatani defends the Women’s Title against Kelly Klein. We see a video on Klein not being sure if she’s good enough because she couldn’t get the title back. This is the biggest match in Women of Honor history.

Six Man Tag Team Titles: Villain Enterprises vs. The Kingdom

The Kingdom is defending and it’s a brawl to start with all six fighting to the floor. Brody King goes inside and hits a big flip dive to take everyone out, including landing on his feet for a bonus. Back in and the Kingdom starts taking over on Marty’s leg, followed by a butterfly backbreaker for two on Scurll. Taven slams him down, declares himself the real World Champion, and brings Marseglia back in.

Scurll finally rolls over for an enziguri to bring in PCO for the crazy power, including pop up powerbombs all around. Marseglia manages to take him down with a cutter but it’s King coming in for a German suplex. We settle down to Scurll not being able to get the chickenwing on Marseglia and it’s a blind tag to bring Taven back in for the frog splash and a near fall with King making the save. Scurll fights off a triple stomp in the corner as PCO and King come back in to take over.

O’Ryan gets caught on the ropes for a 619 from Marty with a Cannonball to the back at the same time for a cool visual. King chops away but gets triple teamed, capped off by Rockstar Supernova. Scurll is legal though, allowing PCO to get back up and drive Marseglia into the apron a few times. Taven’s dive doesn’t work but PCO’s Cannonball from the apron connects to send us to a break. Back with Marseglia powerbombing PCO onto the ramp but it’s a chickenwing to make O’Ryan tap for the titles at 16:13. The post break part was barely a minute long.

Result: Villain Enterprises b. The Kingdom – Chickenwing to O’Ryan (16:13)

Various wrestlers talk about what it means to be wrestling in Madison Square Garden. Castle thinks it’s BANANAS and Taven thinks the Kingdom Conspiracy was just a setup so he could be headlining this show. Either way, it’s a rather awesome deal for them to be at the arena and should put to rest any debate about ROH vs. Impact.
